Communist Party Helping Kerry
John Kerry has an interesting ally - the U.S Communist party.
The official website of the U. S. Communist Party is listing "Top Ten
Reasons to Defeat Bush," all of which are right out of the
Kerry/Edwards campaign playbook.
The Communist party urges communist readers to buy ad space in their
local papers and publish the list in an attempt to help the Kerry
campaign defeat President Bush.
And that's not the only connection between the Communists and the
Kerry campaign. According to St, Augustine newspaper columnist D.P.
Heimbold Kerry's campaign theme, "Let America be America Again," was
borrowed from the title of a poem by Communist poet Langston Hughes.
Here are the Top Ten Reasons to Defeat Bush according to the Communist
Party USA:
1. Bush is destroying workers rights and outsourcing jobs instead of
protecting the right to organize and creating new jobs rebuilding
schools, bridges, roads and hospitals.
2. Bush is privatizing Medicare, Social Security and public education
with phony reforms instead of enacting health care for all, protecting
retirement funds and full funding for public education through
college.
3. Bush is bankrupting the Federal Government with giant tax cuts for
the very rich and super-funds to the military instead of securing the
budget for human needs by taxing the rich and spending on human needs.
4. Bush is rolling back civil rights gains instead of enforcing and
expanding affirmative action to end racism in all areas of life.
5. Bush is curtailing women's rights and choice by undermining Roe v.
Wade instead of upholding the right to choice and ending the
gender-wage gap.
6. Bush is abusing immigrant workers in low-wage jobs instead of
providing a clear path to citizenship and equal rights.
7. Bush is exploiting and ruining the environment by protecting
corporate polluters instead of conserving our natural resources for
the public good.
8. Bush's war in Iraq is a disaster for our security and economy. He
is pushing for more preemptive wars and for first strike nuclear
military policy instead of negotiations and cooperation utilizing the
U.N.
9. Bush is denying civil liberties and free speech in the name of
fighting terrorism instead of repealing the U.S.A. Patriot Act and
helping cities, towns and states fund firefighters and police.
10. Bush discriminates against gays and lesbians with a Constitutional
amendment instead of expanding civil rights and liberties for all.
Pathetic Earthlings! No one can save you now!
